A marquetry vitrine made of various woods, boasting an intricate design, by Émilé Gallé, is one of several lots expected to draw bidder interest, during one of two February auctions to be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.

In a surprising turn of events at Bonhams' June 6 Fine Maritime Paintings & Decorative Arts auction , a set of Japanese World War II recognition models of British war ships exceeded the low estimate; selling for five times the low estimate and finishing at $31,250.
